FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
SAVE THE CORKSTAlKS.

We still have farmers by the
thousand who never cut up any
corn, who do not get a dollars
worth of feed per acre from their
cornnelds, and not infrequently
damage the land by tramping more
than all they get is worth, says
Waldo f. Brown, in the New York
Tribune. If this dry season compels
them to save a part of their fodder
so as to teach them its value, that
will be some compensation tor short
crops. The great bugbear to these
farmers in feeding cornstalks is
the waste of butts. "What can we
do with the coarse stalker they
ask "they are in the way in the
managers and it takes a year to rot
them" There are two ways TO
manage the corn butts ; either will
reduce them to fine manure by or
before May 1. If you will rig some
kind of cutter and cut the fodder,
even into footlengths, the waste
can be used for bedding either Tor
horses or cattle, and will be tramp
ed fat and rot quicker than straw.

with the waste straw from the

cattle. that 1t only needs forklng
into a pile, and allowed to heat, TO
prepare it for use. Managed IN
this way, when once the cattle

by tramping, they will rot quicker
than straw and are better absorb.
